Packaging inserts for products made by an air-laid web process that uses natural fibers and a thermoplastic binder. The process involves generating imprints in the unbonded web, heating it to partially melt the binder and bind the fibers, then cutting the bonded web into inserts with the imprints retained. This allows customized cavities for product fitting without extra processing steps. The imprints conserve shape due to fiber elasticity. The binder can be monocomponent thermoplastic fibers or powder. The air-permeable web is captured on a conveyor and compacted by vacuum.

A packaging device that forms packaging film pieces from a continuous strip without using a cutting blade. The device has a mechanism that chucks the leading end of the strip, moves the chucks to release it, then clamps the next section to stop it from pulling out. This tension tears off the leading section at the perforation. The clamp prevents curling when the next section is chucked. The device also has a conveyor to expose the bottom of the pack object below the tear point. Pressure units then position and attach the film piece to the pack.

A corrugated cardboard packaging container that can be produced simply and in a resource-saving manner. The container has side walls, a bottom flap, and a lid flap all made of corrugated cardboard. The bottom flap is hinged to the bottom end of the side wall and the lid flap is hinged to the lid-side end of the side wall. This eliminates the need for separate frame and casing components. The container can be made in one step using corrugated cardboard blanks that are partially bonded along the side walls and left unbonded between tear strips and cover tabs. This allows the container to be formed by bending the blank into shape.

A form-fill-seal packaging machine and method to prevent unsealed portions from forming at the end of the bags. The machine has a feeding device, sealing device with heater blocks and a cutting blade, and a control device. The control moves the packaging material, seals both ends, then cuts in a specific sequence. It positions the material with gaps between blocks, seals one end, moves it, seals the other, then cuts. This ensures complete sealing before cutting. The grooves between blocks form paths for the blade.

Packaging material manufacturing machine that pulls material from the inside of a roll to make products like cushioning packaging. The machine has a feed mechanism with a deflection roller to introduce the material from the roll interior. This reduces the risk of web breaks compared to feeding from the outside. The feed mechanism has a guide wall that funnels the material towards the deflection roller. The guide wall covers a section of the rollers and protrudes over them. This helps deflect the material into the rollers. The feed mechanism also has a shorter guide path compared to the roller length. The shorter path reduces the material's travel distance. The machine further includes a forming device downstream to shape the material into the final product.
